At the completion of his residency program, Dr. Myers was asked to join the Wake Forest University School of Medicine faculty as a full-time podiatric surgeon and physician. While Dr. Myers was at the Wake Forest School of Medicine, he had the opportunity to become one of the sideline doctors for the Wake Forest Demon Deacon Football Team. As a high school football player and a huge fan of college football, being on the sideline was a dream come true.

Dr. Myers completed the criteria to become board certified in surgery while at the Wake ForestUniversity School of Medicine and still maintains that certification today. Dr. Myers and his wife, his college sweetheart, Ann, fulfilled another dream and moved toward the coast to open up private practice. Dr. Myers and Ann had always wanted to live near the beach, and once all the necessary training had been successfully put behind them, their attentions were set up opening up their own practice, and establishing their home in Conway. Dr. Myers and his wife have many fond memories of family vacations in the Garden City, Surfside and Litchfield areas. These fond memories and their desire to live near the coast led the Myers to make Grand Strand their home.
